Lego Movie

LEGO FACTS
The LEGO® name is made from the first two letters of the Danish words LEG GODT, meaning “play well”.

Laid end to end, the number of LEGO bricks sold in 2012 would stretch round the world more than 18 times.

The first minifigure was produced in 1978. Since then more than 4 billion have been made – making it the world’s largest population group!

Each minifigure is exactly four bricks high without a hat.
